Notable: Senators demand answers over early release of 'American Taliban' John Walker Lindh

Senators demand answers over early release of 'American Taliban' John Walker Lindh

Senators have told the head of the Federal Bureau of Prisons to explain why 'American Taliban' fighter John Walker Lindh is to be released this week two-and-a-half years before the end of his sentence. Richard Shelby of Alabama, a Republican, and his Democratic colleague, Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire, expressed their concern that Lindh, now 38, was being freed despite indication he had not renounced his radical Islamist beliefs. In addition, “as many as 108 other terrorist offenders," they said, are due to be released in the coming years.

Shelby is close to the family of CIA officer Johnny "Mike" Spann, who was killed in 2001 by Lindh's fellow Taliban prisoners moments after Spann had questioned him. Lindh traveled to Afghanistan in early 2001 to join the Taliban. He trained at the al-Farouq al Qaeda training camp and even met Osama bin Laden, who allegedly thanked him for his commitment to jihad. After the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, he was captured by U.S.-backed Northern Alliance forces in November 2001. He was brought to the fortress of Qala-i-Jangi, where he refused to provide any answers under questioning by Spann, who was killed in an uprising by hundreds of captured Taliban fighters. Lindh pleaded guilty to serving as a soldier of the Taliban in 2002 and was sentenced to 20 years in prison — but is scheduled to be released this week after 17-and-a-half years behind bars.

The senators said Lindh remains a danger to society and was among a number of prisoners who "continue to openly call for extremist violence." This was a reference to two government assessments of Lindh leaked in 2017 that painted a picture of an unrepentant extremist who remained radicalized behind bars. The documents stated that Lindh “made pro-[Islamic State] statements” and “has continued to advocate for global jihad and to write and translate violent extremist texts.” Despite this, Lindh will be a free man on Thursday.

Shelby and Hassan said they had been kept in the dark about "who, when, and where these offenders will be released," adding that “federal agencies lack a coordinated and uniform assessment tool to judge whether a terrorist is likely to pose a public threat upon release." They added: "Mr. Lindh is not the only convicted ISIS, al-Qaeda, or Taliban-related terrorist who may soon exit federal custody,” Shelby and Hassan said. “Our highest priority is keeping America safe, secure, and free."

FFS these (((clowns))) are all getting very hands on!

Former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel Joins ABC News And The Atlantic

Former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel has joined The Atlantic as a contributing editor and will become a political analyst for ABC News. Both announcements came Tuesday.

Emanuel, who previously served as the press secretary during the Obama administration, has spent the last year going on various news outlets pursuing a job, The Daily Beast first reported.

He published an article on The Atlantic Tuesday as one of his first acts as a part of the media. The article focused on how the Democrats should not turn toward socialism as a way to re-energize their base. Instead, he argues that the Party should become one “of justice.”

Emanuel published another Atlantic opinion piece on the site back in March, where he argued a similar point, “If Trump’s only hope for winning a second term turns on his ability to paint us as socialists, we shouldn’t play to type.”

Emanuel is the latest politician-turned-news-contributor. Former Republican Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake joined CBS News after leaving Congress in January. Former Tallahassee Mayor and gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum and former Republican Utah Rep. Mia Love have joined CNN.

The former Chicago Mayor made headlines as his tenure wound down for attacking the prosecutors who dropped charges against “Empire” star Jussie Smollett for faking a police report.

“They said, in fact, the police did a good job and the evidence holds up and he actually did commit the hoax. They’re saying $10,000 and two days of community service is good enough,” Emanuel said at the time. “I don’t believe, not only is it not good enough — especially when he’s walking around thinking he’s innocent.”

Classified Iran briefing turns heated as Trump team clashes with Democrats

A classified Senate briefing on reported Iranian plots against the United States turned into a tense clash between top U.S. officials and lawmakers frustrated with President Trump’s strategy toward Iran. “I would say there was a lot of heat in that room,” Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, told the Washington Examiner following the Tuesday afternoon briefing. Key congressional Democrats suggested that President Trump’s administration was preparing for military conflict with the regime based on faulty intelligence or even false pretenses after ambiguous U.S. warnings that Iranian proxies might attack American personnel in Iraq. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan sought to allay that suspicion in separate meetings, first with House lawmakers and then the Senate Tuesday afternoon.

“Today I walked them through what the Department of Defense has been doing since May 3, when we received credible intelligence about threats to our interests in the Middle East and to American forces, and how we acted on that credible intelligence,” Shanahan told reporters after the Senate briefing. "That intelligence has borne out in attacks, and I would say it’s also deterred attacks. We have deterred attacks based on our re-posturing of assets, deterred attacks against American forces.” The controversy shifted in the briefing to complaints that they didn’t communicate with Congress enough in recent weeks and a broader protest against the administration’s withdrawal from the 2015 Iran nuclear deal. Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, a top contender for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, was among the most aggressive in raising the specter of being misled into a conflict with Iran.

“Most Americans know way back when we were lied to about the situation in Vietnam and we went into a war which ended up costing us 59,000 lives, based on a lie,” he said. “In 2003, we were lied to in terms of Iraq supposedly having weapons of mass destruction.” Sanders refused to answer whether he believes such lies are being told now. “I won't talk about what we heard in the meeting,” he said. “But let me just say that I worry very much that, intentionally or unintentionally, we create a situation in which a war will take place.” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer avoided that controversy entirely, focusing only on the frustration that the administration didn’t provide more information to lawmakers over the last three weeks. “I told the people who were briefing us that I thought the consultation with the American people and the Congress was inadequate,” the New York Democrat told reporters in a brief appearance, without taking additional questions. “Both the American people and the Congress read about a lot of actions in the newspapers and had no idea what was going on. I told them they had to make it better next time.”

Shanahan acknowledged that desire for more information. “We heard feedback that they’d like more conversation,” he said. “They’d also like us to be more communicative with the American public, and we agreed to do more of that.” Maryland Sen. Ben Cardin, a senior Democrat on the Foreign Relations Committee, conceded that the meeting was a “very helpful” survey of the intelligence reports and U.S. responses. Another lawmaker confirmed that the meeting was testy, but in this telling the confrontation was bipartisan and focused more on the administration’s policies than suspicions that they are fabricating intelligence. “A number of them questioned the conclusions of the administration about the reaction of the Iranians and what it might lead to,” a Democratic senator, speaking on condition of anonymity, said after the briefing. “I think there's a lot of us with real misgivings about how serious this is and how much is a creation of the administration's own provocative policy.”

Shanahan stressed that the administration, which has deployed an aircraft carrier strike group to the Persian Gulf and threatened devastating consequences for attacks on Americans, is trying to avoid a conflict. “Our biggest focus at this point is to prevent Iranian miscalculation,” he told reporters. “We do not want the situation to escalate." Cruz kept the focus on Democratic hostility to Trump and their fidelity to the nuclear agreement that former President Barack Obama’s team negotiated with Iran. “Far too many congressional Democrats are invested in appeasement for Iran, which manifests in effectively defending the mullahs against maximum pressure,” he told the Washington Examiner.

Notable: Byron York: Pubs seek release of secret Papadopoulos transcripts

Byron York: Republicans seek release of secret Papadopoulos transcripts

Former Rep. Trey Gowdy stunned House investigators recently by all but announcing the existence of secret FBI recordings of Trump campaign foreign policy volunteer adviser George Papadopoulos, made in the summer of 2016 by an undercover FBI operation. Gowdy made the revelation in an interview Sunday with Fox Business' Maria Bartiromo. "There are a lot of serious questions that need to be asked" during Attorney General William Barr's investigation into the origins of the Trump-Russia probe, Gowdy said. Among them: "Where are the transcripts, if any exist, between the informants and the telephone calls to George Papadopoulos?"

Papadopoulos, an energy consultant, was approached by at least two FBI informants in London in 2016. One was an academic, Stefan Halper, who had a long relationship with the FBI, and the other was an undercover investigator who went by the alias "Azra Turk." The reason Papadopoulos' experience is so important is because the FBI has cited it as the reason the bureau officially began the Trump-Russia investigation, known as Crossfire Hurricane, on July 31, 2016. The FBI said that Australian diplomats, who talked with Papadopoulos in London, told U.S. government officials that Papadopoulos said Russia had damaging information about Hillary Clinton. After that, the FBI reportedly sent "Azra Turk" to London and also used other resources to find out what was going on with Papadopoulos. They created a record of their work, according to Gowdy. "If the bureau is going to send an informant in, the informant is going to be wired," Gowdy said. "And if the bureau is monitoring telephone calls, there's going to be a transcript of that." Gowdy cast his statement as a hypothetical, but it did not veil much of anything. "Some of us have been fortunate to know whether or not those transcripts exist, but they haven't been made public," he said. Gowdy strongly suggested at least one of the transcripts has information that would be exculpatory for Papadopoulos. "Very little in this Russia probe, I'm afraid, is going to persuade people who hate Trump or who love Trump," he said. "But there is some information in these transcripts that I think has the potential to be a game-changer, if it's ever made public."

"You say there's exculpatory evidence," replied Bartiromo,"and when people see that, they're going to say, wait, why wasn't this presented to the court earlier?" "Yes," said Gowdy. "You know, [Republican Rep. John Ratcliffe] is rightfully exercised over the obligations that the government has to tell the whole truth to a court when you are seeking permission to spy or do surveillance on an American. And part of that includes the responsibility of providing exculpatory information or information that tends to show the person didn't do something wrong. If you have exculpatory information, and you don't share it with the court, that ain't good. I have seen it. [Ratcliffe] has seen it. I would love for your viewers to see it."

Gowdy did not say so directly, but he clearly suggested the transcripts could change some views of the origins and legitimacy of the Trump-Russia investigation. In this way: The FBI received the Australian information. It dispatched investigators to London to learn what was going on with Papadopoulos. If the investigators confirmed the Australians' tip, then the investigation would surely continue and intensify. But what if the FBI did not confirm the Australians' information? And what if, after failing to confirm that information, the bureau pressed on with the investigation anyway? Finally, what if the FBI, which mentioned Papadopoulos in the application submitted to the secret FISA court for a warrant to wiretap Carter Page, did not tell the court that its own informants and agents had gathered information relevant to the case? That's a lot of what-ifs. Until the documents are released, there is no way for the public to know if that is what actually happened.

Hundreds Rally in Times Square to Protest Anti-Semitic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar

Last night hundreds of protesters gathered in Times Square in New York City to call for the removal of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) from the powerful House Foreign Affairs Committee. The protest was organized by conservative activist Joe Diamond, whose campaign to raise funds for a Times Square billboard was pulled by Facebook soon after they’d raised adequate funds. The Jerusalem Post covered the event:

Following the Minnesotan congresswoman’s highly-publicized allegations of antisemitism and statement downplaying the 9/11 terrorist attacks, New York native and activist Joe Diamond organized a rally and billboard launch calling on the removal of Omar, one of the first two Muslim women to be elected to the US legislature.

“In my lifetime I cannot think of any other politician who presents a bigger threat to the alliance between the US and Israel and to America’s Jews,” Diamond told the Jerusalem Post ahead of Monday’s protest. “This woman is an ardent antisemite and she doesn’t even try to hide it.”

Omar’s critics had planned to launch a billboard with redacted quotes from the politician, alongside graphic 9/11 imagery. The group, named ‘Ilan Must Go,’ was prepared to spend thousands of dollars on the billboard, with donations from the Simon Wiesenthal Center, Zionist Organization of America and more. Instead, the detractors put the video display on a truck, as they were unable to receive a stationary billboard permit from local authorities, which cited the ad as “disparaging.”

No U.S. mainstream media outlets covered the protest. The mobile billboard can be seen in the following video posted to Twitter:

US Warns Assad Of "Quick Response" After New Chemical Attack Allegation

Here we go again with a claim that seems to surface every Spring: the US says it is looking into allegations the Syrian government has used chemical weapons as it continues an offensive against jihadists in northwest Syria.

Just as in prior incidents, it appears the sole originator of the claim is al-Qaeda in Syria, currently battling it out with pro-Assad forces near Idlib. And like with prior chemical attack allegations, it comes at a moment the jihadists are fast losing ground in the area.

According to Reuters, citing US State Department remarks:

US State Department says it sees signs Syrian government may be renewing use of chemical weapons, including alleged chlorine attack on May 19.

Notable: UK Intel Agencies Frame Spygate Involvement Ahead of Trump’s Declassification

UK Intel Agencies Frame Spygate Involvement Ahead of Trump’s Declassification

The Telegraph published two separate articles detailing their version of when the heads of UK intelligence were briefed about the contents of former MI6 agent Christopher Steele’s dossier of claims about President Donald Trump’s ties to Russia. According to The Telegraph, the UK spy chiefs were briefed before Trump was made aware of their existence by former FBI Director James Comey, but notably after the 2016 presidential election had taken place: “The heads of MI5 and MI6 and one of [Prime Minister Theresa] May’s most trusted security advisers were told about former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele’s memos on the Trump campaign in the weeks after his November 2016 election victory.”

The Telegraph article goes to significant lengths to make two separate points: that UK intelligence heads were briefed on Steele’s information only after the 2016 presidential election had concluded, and that May was never directly informed of the dossier’s existence. Interestingly, the article points out that the prime minister “may have known Mr. Steele” from the UK’s inquiry into the poisoning death of Alexander Litvinenko, when May was home secretary. The Telegraph also noted the involvement of Charles Farr, the former chairman of Britain’s Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC). The role of the JIC is to “assess events and situations relating to external affairs, defence, terrorism [and] major international criminal activity.” The JIC is also responsible for the “liaison with Commonwealth and foreign intelligence organisations.” The JIC’s website specifically notes that: “Members of the Committee are to bring to the attention of their ministers and departments, as appropriate, assessments that appear to require operational, planning or policy action.”

The Telegraph reported that Steele met with Farr on two separate occasions to inform him of the events and information contained within his dossier. The two men, both former MI6 agents, had known each other for decades. The first meeting was reported as being one week after the 2016 presidential election in mid-November 2016: “Together, they looked at what Mr. Steele had brought—more than a dozen memos originally sent to his client, Fusion GPS, spelling out in detail the alleged Trump-Kremlin links. “For hours, the pair worked through the information—now collectively known as the ‘Steele dossier’—line by line. “Farr would ask questions, Mr. Steele would spell out what he knew.”

According to The Telegraph article, by the end of his first meeting with Steele, Farr had decided that the allegations within the Steele dossier “had to go up the chain of command.” “Within days, according to well-placed sources, the allegations were shared with the most senior intelligence figures in the country. “It is understood that Alex Younger, the MI6 chief, and Andrew Parker, the MI5 director general, were informed of the dossier,” The Telegraph reported.

The article also referenced a second meeting with Farr in late November 2016, approximately 10 days after the alleged date of their first meeting. The two men met again for follow-up questioning and to discuss the addition of two new memos written by Steele, one of which reportedly detailed “how the Russians were allegedly trying to block Mitt Romney’s possible appointment as US secretary of state.” It was also around this time that the heads of MI6 and MI5 were allegedly briefed on the dossier.

Iran and the Muslim Brotherhood (MB): Hamas, a MB-created organization has been supported by Iran for a long time. A recent (May 2019) article in IPT explains the history and importance of this association:

Here are some key points from the article “Why Iran Objects to a Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation” posted May 16, 2019:

For four decades, Iran's main strength was not a strong army or a robust economy, but its militant proxies around the Middle East. Close ties with the Muslim Brotherhood extended Iran's reach and provided the Islamic Republic with a softer political power within nearly 80 countries where the group operates, especially in regions inaccessible to Iran such as Europe and the United States.

– A stronger Muslim Brotherhood is beneficial for the Iranian regime and the Islamist axis, which now includes Iran, Turkey, and Qatar, said Egyptian-based Iranian affairs expert Mohamed Banaya.

– Iran's ties with the Muslim Brotherhood extend also to its offshoots such as Hamas. Relations with Hamas date back at least to a 1990 conference held in Tehran to support the Palestinian Intifada. At that time, Hamas declared Iran a strategic ally.

– But Iran may have more tangible concerns beyond ideological affinity. The United States designated the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization in April. The Brotherhood might offer some relief to those new financial restrictions, Banaya said.

– "Under the US sanctions on Tehran, Iran's leader will resort to the Brotherhood's financial networks to support Iran economically and financially to withstand the Trump sanctions," he said.

– Yusuf Nada, the Muslim Brotherhood financier who is also known as the Brotherhood's "foreign minister," admitted in a 2002 Al Jazeera interview that he was the Brotherhood contact person with Iran.

– Iran is "the largest backer financially and militarily" for Hamas, Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar said in 2017. "Today, the relationship with Iran is excellent, or very excellent," Sinwar said.

In regards to long term relationships:

- Warm relations between the Brotherhood and radical Shiite clerics date back to a 1954 meeting between Navaab Safavi and Brotherhood ideologue Sayyid Qutb. Safavi founded the Fedayeen of Islam, an Iranian terrorist group that has inspired both ayatollahs Ruhollah Khomeini and Ali Khamenei.

- In a 1998 article, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei discussed how he was personally influenced by Safavi whom he met when he was about 16 years old. "That was the time when the first inspiring sparks of the Islamic Revolution were ignited in me by Nawab-Safavi, and I have no doubt that the first fire ignited in our hearts was because of Nawab-Safavi."

Inner Circle Member Details Arrest of NXIVM’s Leader in Mexico

NEW YORK—In dramatic testimony on May 21, a former member of NXIVM—part of leader Keith Raniere’s inner circle—detailed how federal police surrounded Raniere’s Mexico hideout to arrest him in 2018—and how the “grand master” tried to hide in a walk-in closet. Lauren Salzman told jurors in a Brooklyn Federal court how she was in the same room as Raniere when authorities suddenly showed up. She recounted how her first instinct was to protect Raniere in the Puerto Vallarta house where other female inner-circle members were also present. Lauren is the daughter of the group’s president Nancy Salzman—they both have pleaded guilty, as have the other three co-defendants.

Raniere, 58, sat at the top of the pyramid scheme group that presented itself as a self-help organization. He is accused of having sexual “slaves” as part of an internal secret society called DOS, an acronym for the Latin phrase “dominus obsequious sororium,” which loosely translates as “master over the slave women.” He is charged with sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy among other crimes. Donning a white top and black pants, Salzman, who had a melancholy look on her face, broke down in tears at times as she also described being in DOS, her long-term relationship with Raniere aided by his promise of having a baby with her, her role in keeping a member locked up in a room for two years, and her lies to the public as a spokeswoman for the group. Raniere stared at Salzman intently during her testimony, often with his right hand resting on his chin. Salzman said that after searching the property, police in bulletproof vests approached the room she and Raniere were in. She said after they started knocking on the door asking if anyone was inside, Raniere told her to ask the authorities if they had a warrant as he attempted to hide. Earlier, she had tried to get Raniere to climb out the window to flee—he refused.

In her testimony, Salzman describing going back and forth across the room as she answered the officers’ questions while she tried to distance herself from the door. “The whole time I was thinking they could shoot in this door. I might get shot right now,” she testified. “My highest priority was making sure Keith was okay.” Officers eventually kicked down the bedroom door and held her down as she called out Raniere’s name. Raniere was arrested and extradited back to the United States. Salzman testified that looking back at the incident now, Raniere failed to act on what he had taught throughout his years as part of NXIVM’s self-improvement curriculum.

Such classes, she said, often talked about how men were noble and should act like real men in tough situations. Much of the curriculum, former members testified, was aimed at minimizing morality and tearing apart traditional male and female relationships. She told jurors she was surprised to see Raniere not act as he had preached, instead, she was the one protecting him. “Everything he taught us was this … what men do, what women do,” Salzman said. “He didn’t do it—and then I did it.” “It never occurred to me that I would choose Keith—and Keith would choose Keith,” Salzman said.

Before testifying about the arrest, Salzman detailed how she was forced to act as a spokesperson of sorts after reports came out that the group had branded women. The brand was a symbol incorporating Raniere’s initials and burned onto the skin of DOS members with a cauterizing pen, during a process that took “20 to 30 minutes,” according to court documents. Salzman said she had to do interviews with the media and release statements that all the group’s activities were consensual. She herself was directly under Raniere with six other women who were so-called “first-line masters,” who were slaves only to him.

"This Is Unfathomable" - Nike, Adidas Pen Letter To Trump Calling Proposed Tariffs "Catastrophic"

Footwear companies Nike and Adidas are publicly airing their grievances and having their say about President Trump's pending decision to slap tariffs on footwear made in China. The companies are calling the policy “catastrophic for our consumers, our companies and the American economy as a whole,” according to Bloomberg and a letter released publicly by the shoe industry’s trade association, the Footwear Distributors & Retailers of America, on Monday.

The two giants have been joined by 171 additional footwear companies in asking the President to hold off on raising tariffs further. The letter was also addressed to Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross and National Economic Council director Larry Kudlow. The industry estimates that the tariffs, if implemented, would add $7 billion in new costs per year that would need to be passed onto the consumer.

They wrote:

"On behalf of our hundreds of millions of footwear consumers and hundreds of thousands of employees, we ask that you immediately stop this action to increase their tax burden. Your proposal to add tariffs on all imports from China is asking the American consumer to foot the bill. It is time to bring this trade war to an end."

OC Dig on Jeffrey Epstein and how he could be connected to NXIVM.

- Some news is old/known, but just bear with me if you don't mind

- Per his "black book", Edgar Bronfman Jr. is an entry

- The company listed is "Lexa Partners", so I searched his name and the company name and got this Forbes link, which confirms this is THE Edgar Bronfman Jr

https://www.bloomberg.com/research/stocks/private/person.asp?personId=654540&privcapId=13390528&%20Inc.

- Edgar's father is Edgar Brofnman Sr (obviously), but it starts getting weird: Edgar Bronfman Jr. is listed as "related" to Clare Bronfman as a half-sister (different mothers).

- However, SARA Bronfman (Clare's sister) is NOT listed as a relative of Edgar Jr., even though Edgar Sr. is both of their fathers. Was this intentionally left out, since Sara got involved in NXIVM as far back as 2002? By 2008, lawyers estimated the sisters had spent $175 million on NXIVM and Rainier.

- Obviously, Clare Bronfman has pled guilty, and a bunch of others, including Allison Mack and Salzman.

- OK, big deal, your sister(s) are into weird stuff, end of story. But not quite.

- The Bronfman's have been involved in shady business, including with the Arizona Mafia, since the 1940s at least. See "No Name Connections" graphic attached. The Bronfman's are also a slightly roundabout way to discover portions of No Name's fortune that he received after dumping his first wife who loved him dearly and marrying Cindy McBimbo (kind of like John Kerry did with Heinz).

- I haven't been able to find concrete connection between Edgar Jr. and NXIVM, but this proximity seems a little too close for comfort - could be a useful connection in the future as the NXIVM trial continues to unfold. Will keep digging.

Pope Francis Calls For Global Governance to Fight Climate Change

Demands new powers be transferred to international authority that ‘manages’ interests of nations.

Pope Francis recently called for global governance to fight climate change, asserting, “The nation state cannot be considered as an absolute.”

During an address to the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences, the Pope condemned “growing nationalism that neglects the common good” and called for more globalism.

“The nation state cannot be considered as an absolute, as an island with respect to the surrounding context,” he said, adding, “The nation state is no longer able to procure the common good of its populations alone.”

Pope Francis said that a “special authority legally and concordantly constituted” was necessary to facilitate the implementation of new climate change policies.

He went on to demand that power be transferred from nation states to “intergovernmental institutions that manage their common interests.”

“This universal common good, in turn, must acquire a more pronounced juridical value at international level,” concluded Francis.

The Pope has made innumerable statements bashing nationalism and populism, particularly in the context of his advocacy of bringing millions of migrants into Europe.

Under his guidance, the Catholic Church has also fully embraced the global warming mantra despite deep skepticism amongst Christians.

As Denver Decriminalizes Mushrooms, Major City Moves to Decriminalize Ayahuasca, Ibogaine Too

Nearly seven years ago, Colorado citizens—tired of the war on drugs and wise to the near-limitless benefits of cannabis—made US history by voting to legalize recreational marijuana. Now, this state has once again placed themselves on the right side of history as they voted this month to decriminalize magic mushrooms. But this was just the beginning and their momentum is spreading—faster and stronger, toward decriminalizing all plant-based psychedelics.

Now, a major city in California is following suit, but not just with psilocybin—Oakland is calling for decriminalization of other psychedelics like mescaline cacti, ayahuasca and ibogaine.

To be clear, the recent measure does not mean that mushrooms are now legal in Denver, it simply means that cops can’t make it a priority to go after folks for them and it won’t land people in jail for possession. While legalization would be the perfect result, this is most certainly a step in the right direction and this step appears to be a giant leap now that California is doing the same.

As Forbes reports:

The resolution, which would seek to bar police and other city officials from using “any city funds or resources to assist in the enforcement of laws imposing criminal penalties for the use and possession” of the plant- and fungi-based substances, has been scheduled for a hearing before the Oakland City Council’s Public Safety Committee on May 28.

If approved there, it would head to the full Council for a final vote.

Like the Denver resolution, the Oakland resolution would make possession of these psychedelics “amongst the lowest law enforcement priority” for the city under the measure, according to Forbes, which also specifies that the Council “wishes to declare its desire not to expend City resources in any investigation, detention, arrest, or prosecution arising out of alleged violations of state and federal law regarding the use of Entheogenic Plants.”

“We already have support from at least five members of the Council, but our goal is to get eight out of eight to show unanimous support, because this affects all communities in Oakland,” Carlos Plazola, an organizer with the group Decriminalize Nature, which worked to help draft the measure, said in an interview.

Federal Efforts to Secure Key Cities From Mass Terror Attack Found Faulty

Report: DHS 'does not have assurance that cities can sustain threat detection and deterrence'

A federal investigation into a nationwide program to secure America's top cities from a mass terror attack has found that the Department of Homeland Security has not adequately tracked local progress in detecting threats and cannot provide assurances that cities participating in the program can sustain efforts to thwart terror attacks. Since June 2018, several large cities have received nearly $145 million in federal dollars to purchase detection equipment and other devices that could help local law enforcement detect nuclear and radiological materials, which the federal government has deemed a top national security matter. However, DHS—which operates the program—has not adequately tracked how dollars are spent, nor has the agency developed methods to ensure that these key cities can sustain detection efforts aimed at stopping a weapon of mass destruction if a terrorist deployed it.

With the Trump administration's Justice Department charging would-be terrorists in the United States at a quickening rate, detection efforts have become all the more important for major cities. Federal investigators are now warning DHS that it must make a greater effort to help these cities sustain their threat detection abilities. "DHS does not have assurance that cities can sustain threat detection and deterrence capabilities gained through the" Securing the Cities program, also known as STC, according to a new report issued by federal oversight investigators.

"DHS has not enforced planning requirements for sustaining those capabilities and has taken limited action to help cities do so, although encouraging sustainment is one of its primary program goals." Local officials from at least five cities participating in the program told federal investigators "they anticipate funding challenges that will adversely impact their ability to sustain capabilities over time," the report warns. "For example, several city officials said they cannot rely on other DHS or federal grant programs or local sources of funding once STC funding ends." "Unless DHS analyzes risks related to sustainment, works with cities to address these risks, and enforces sustainment-planning requirements for cities in the program in the future, program participants could see their radiological detection programs and related capabilities deteriorate," the report states.

In addition to funding and organizational challenges, DHS's Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Office, or CWMD, "does not have assurance that cities can sustain threat detection and deterrence capabilities gained through the STC program, and cities anticipate funding challenges once STC program funding ends," according to the report. "Specifically, CWMD has not enforced sustainment planning requirements and has taken limited action to help cities sustain their capabilities, even though encouraging sustainment is one of its primary program goals. Cities anticipate funding challenges that will adversely affect their ability to sustain capabilities after the program."

Bombshell Transcripts: Obama AG Loretta Lynch Claims James Comey Lied Under Oath

Transcripts of testimony by former Attorney General Loretta Lynch show her accusing former FBI Director James Comey of lying under oath to Congress.

Rep. Doug Collins released transcripts on Monday from several Department of Justice officials, including Lynch and former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe.

There’s really only one way to view this, folks – Lynch’s testimony shows that either she or Comey lied to Congress. As Comey’s interview was under oath, he presumably stands to suffer the greater consequences.

Somebody’s Lying

Central to the bombshell testimony by Lynch is an incident in which Comey repeatedly claimed she had downgraded terminology for the Hillary Clinton private server investigation.

The former head of the FBI testified that he felt “queasy” after the AG asked him to refer to the probe of Clinton’s emails as a “matter” rather than an “investigation.”

“[Lynch] told me to call it a matter, which confused and concerned me. But that was one of the bricks in the load that led me to conclude I have to step away from the [Justice] Department if we’re to close this case credibly,” Comey claimed.

Lynch, during her hearing before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, recalled that she was “quite surprised” by this claim.

Lynch is reminded that Comey made these statements under oath.

“I did not,” Lynch unequivocally responded when asked if she had directed Comey to downgrade the Clinton case from an investigation to a ‘matter.’

“I have never instructed a witness as to what to say specifically,” she added. “Never have, never will.”

California sues Trump administration over high-speed rail funds

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - California on Tuesday sued the Trump administration in U.S. District Court after the U.S. Transportation Department confirmed it would withhold $929 million in high-speed rail funding awarded to the state in 2010. California later on Tuesday plans to seek a temporary restraining order request asking a judge to prevent the U.S. Transportation Department from repurposing the money, the governor’s office said.

The state will argue that the withholding is aimed at punishing California for opposing President Donald Trump’s proposed wall along the southern U.S. border. The suit also names Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, Federal Railroad Administration (FRA)and FRA chief Ron Batory. The Trump administration moved to end funding after California Governor Gavin Newsom said in February the state would scale back the planned $77.3 billion high-speed rail project after cost hikes, delays and management concerns, but would finish a smaller section.

Trump has repeatedly criticized the project. In a speech last week, Trump recounted that he had said “Elaine, it’s over for them” to Chao about the California project. The move marked the latest in an ongoing battle between the Trump administration and California over a series of issues including immigration, vehicle emissions standards and internet policy. The most populous U.S. state has repeatedly sued the Trump administration and officials had expected the state would sue over the rail funding. The U.S. Transportation Department declined to comment on the suit. The FRA, the U.S. railway regulator said last week it had canceled the funding agreement after it said the state failed to make “reasonable” progress on the project.

Notable: Tom Fitton descibes Trump-Russia narrative as part of an “international effort to take out” President Donald Trump

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/05/21/tom-fitton-coup-cabal-was-an-international-effort-to-take-out-trump/

Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, described the Trump-Russia narrative and Robert Mueller-led operation as parts of an “international effort to take out” President Donald Trump.

He offered his remarks in a Monday interview on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with host Alex Marlow.

Fitton previously described the Trump-Russia “collusion” narrative as “the big lie,” noting its ubiquity across the overlapping political and news media landscapes.

“Yesterday, you had confirmation over in the United Kingdom that that intelligence operation there — the UK’s intelligence apparatus — also knew about the dossier,” said Fitton, “and part of that spying that took place with Stefan Halper also took place in London. The New York Times, at the end of their story, exposing that, disclosed that the UK knew about that spy operation as well.”

Fitton added, “You had this other agency — supposedly a friend of the United States — laundering the Steele dossier that was created as a result of FBI-DNC-Clinton campaign money in consultation with Russian intelligence. It’s pretty incredible stuff, and it shows you that it was an international effort to take out Trump. It wasn’t just based her in the United States.”

LISTEN:

Marlow invited Fitton’s perception of Attorney General William Barr. “[William Barr] doesn’t seem like someone who’s going to be cowed,” assessed Fitton. “I hope he does a serious investigation. Certainly everything he’s said suggests that’s what he wants to do, and he’s seen evidence requiring follow-up by a competent attorney general like himself.”

Widespread political and partisan corruption within the FBI and broader Department of Justice — particularly with respect to spying on and surveillance of Donald Trump and his circle, both as a candidate and president — must be purged, determined Fitton.

“I hope it’s not just an administrative review, [and] that it’s a criminal investigation,” stated Fitton. “I know it’s starting off as a review. The other big thing coming down the pike is the inspector general out of the Justice Department. I don’t know what’s going to be in there, but all the signals are suggesting that there will be some strong criticism of the FISA abuses under Barack Obama and, frankly, into the Trump administration by these anti-Trumpers.”

“William Barr] has seen evidence of criminal misconduct,” continued Fitton. “It doesn’t necessarily mean something big will happen. He’s not only fighting … the whole Democrat media complex, the institutions of the FBI, and the DOJ, and frankly, the spy agencies are really going to stand strong against anything serious being done. Look at Christopher Wray, he can’t even use the word ‘spy.’ He’s so compromised in terms of having internalized this deep state approach to reining in the FBI swamp.”

Marlow recalled Joe DiGenova’s characterization of former CIA Director John Brennan — now a political commentator on MSNBC — as the “mastermind” of the “conspiracy to frame Donald Trump.”

“I think [John Brennan] is a key ringleader,” concurred Fitton. “This was a cabal … and certainly Brennan was pushing this dossier. He was involved in that infamous Oval Office meeting in Barack Obama’s White House with James Comey, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, et cetera, just before Comey went to attempt — as his FBI people suggested, or were worried about — to blackmail then-president elect Trump with information about the dossier. It looks like that spy operation would not have taken place without FBI help.”

Fitton went on, “An administrative review would be good, but that’s not going to be enough. These folks need to go before grand juries and really face serious investigation. To me, that’s the hallmark of a criminal investigation so that people can have reassurance that something serious is being done.”

Fitton concluded, “I would encourage Barr to unleash the hounds in terms of using the powers of the Justice Department that people are familiar with, in terms of bringing in prosecutors, having FBI agents do interviews; frankly, I’m not sure if the FBI should be involved in this — but have acting federal agents do interviews, having an internal administrative review isn’t going to cut it.”

DOJ, citing Barr contempt vote, threatens to cut off negotiations with Congress over Mueller report

The Justice Department warned House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff if the panel moves forward with a contempt vote or other punishment against Attorney General William Barr, it will no longer work together on a deal that would allow members to view a less-redacted version of the Mueller report. In a letter sent Tuesday to Schiff, D-Calif., from Assistant Attorney General Stephen Boyd, the DOJ proposed a meeting this week with the Intelligence panel’s senior staff to continue to search for a compromise in response to 12 requests made by the committee. But that meeting won’t happen if the panel decides to punish Barr for failing to turn over the unredacted report, Boyd warned.

“Should the committee take the precipitous and unnecessary action of recommending a contempt finding or other enforcement action against the Attorney General, then the Department will not likely to be able to continue to work with the Committee to accommodate its interest in these materials.”

Boyd said the panel “is willing to work with the panel on a reasonable and realistic process,” to provide members with “information pertaining to counterintelligence and foreign-intelligence activities,” outlined but redacted in the Mueller report, which probed Russian interference in the 2016 election. The House Judiciary Committee cited Barr with contempt earlier this month for failing to turn over the unredacted version, even though the redactions are required by law. The Justice Department has offered a “minimally redacted” version for all members of the Intelligence Committee to view but Democrats have declined.

Thanks to Facebook, Your Cellphone Company Is Watching You More Closely Than Ever

Among the mega-corporations that surveil you, your cellphone carrier has always been one of the keenest monitors, in constant contact with the one small device you keep on you at almost every moment. A confidential Facebook document reviewed by The Intercept shows that the social network courts carriers, along with phone makers — some 100 different companies in 50 countries — by offering the use of even more surveillance data, pulled straight from your smartphone by Facebook itself.

Offered to select Facebook partners, the data includes not just technical information about Facebook members’ devices and use of Wi-Fi and cellular networks, but also their past locations, interests, and even their social groups. This data is sourced not just from the company’s main iOS and Android apps, but from Instagram and Messenger as well. The data has been used by Facebook partners to assess their standing against competitors, including customers lost to and won from them, but also for more controversial uses like racially targeted ads.

Some experts are particularly alarmed that Facebook has marketed the use of the information — and appears to have helped directly facilitate its use, along with other Facebook data — for the purpose of screening customers on the basis of likely creditworthiness. Such use could potentially run afoul of federal law, which tightly governs credit assessments.

Facebook said it does not provide creditworthiness services and that the data it provides to cellphone carriers and makers does not go beyond what it was already collecting for other uses.

Facebook’s cellphone partnerships are particularly worrisome because of the extensive surveillance powers already enjoyed by carriers like AT&T and T-Mobile: Just as your internet service provider is capable of watching the data that bounces between your home and the wider world, telecommunications companies have a privileged vantage point from which they can glean a great deal of information about how, when, and where you’re using your phone. AT&T, for example, states plainly in its privacy policy that it collects and stores information “about the websites you visit and the mobile applications you use on our networks.” Paired with carriers’ calling and texting oversight, that accounts for just about everything you’d do on your smartphone.

Now, the rats do their thing and the Judicial branch (another anon's post re: judges appointed by DJT) takes care of the rest. I've posted that wiki page several times, here, just to clue in everyone on just how much was being gummed up by congress. Now that these judges are getting appointed, things are going to start happening. They owned the courts, remember?

Not anymore.

That addresses points 3 - 3d.

Q executed everything you see here in the manner which was needed. Let me put it to you another way. Just how much can Q know about? How much could they prioritize assets in the event of something imminent? I'm not talking school shooters or possible nut jobs shooting up other gun-free zones (there are WAAAAAAAAAY too many potentials out there to even begin policing that). I'm talking planned/coordinated insurgency.

How many prior service, old time vets, hard core righties, racists, vigilante wanna bes, and DS bad actors whose target audience were all the above, do you think, were getting ready to go rogue? I'm not saying I have any hard data, or know any of these people personally, but just use your imagination for a split second. Think about how our culture is riddled with these examples. OK, so real threat, right?

Now that Q is here, you think those crazy fucks, or otherwise "well intentioned disgruntles" are still scheming? In all honesty, they really probably shouldn't anymore. We've all seen the "US Civil War 2.0" story from the former red team/blue team analyst. Trust me, you don't want that scenario to unfold, and neither does Q. Nobody wants that, really.

So, taking points 1 and 2, and simply taking the first 5 words from each, you are assuming Q was a reelection campaign, and we've seen that shill tactic before, too. We've all also seen the explanation that has been given over and over again about military operations. Congrats, you are experiencing what it's like to be a "private". You know of some shit, and you know why we're fighting against said shit. However, you are not read in on the plan of execution, it's contingencies, or the contingencies' contingencies. Congrats! You now know your role.

Either continue to doubt your leadership, seeing all the delays and pitfalls, and literally interpreting everything Q says as doctrine of truth (nevermind throwing the enemy off! Why can't Q just tell us everything so we can know it all!!!), or wake up to what's really going on .

Wars have always been fought in the minds of the people that the belligerents seek to subdue. Wars have been fought over:

1. Religion/God

2. Resources

Resources can be oil, food, water, land/location, minds, pussy, etc.

Does this seem like the type of thing that is the penultimate conflict to bring back the kingdom of God (if you believe in such a story), or is this the type of war that is being waged in the context of resources as mentioned above?

It's all about resources. Always has been, always will be. But why? The people we're fighting against use us as their resources. We're their pets. Their cattle. Their "play toys". Their food. Which side of that fight do you want to be on, anon? Sure, the view from the cheap seats being afforded to you is a great place for you to form your theories on whether or not what's being done here can be taken at face value, and a healthy does of skepticism is great. Skepticism is a great instinct; probably the one that has gotten many anons this far in life to begin with.

But let's face it; the more anons kvetch like shills that kvetch over "shit's not happening" or "muh arrests" or "speed the fucking train up" or "moar tits pl0x", the more those anons basically turn into the shills we fight on a daily basis.

So, either you've gone shill, or you're just a shill trying to make Q look like a reelection campaign. Which is it?

Republican Google Engineer Writes Open Letter About Company’s ‘Outrage Mobs’ And ‘Witch Hunts’

A Republican Google software engineer has written an open letter describing a culture of left-wing “outrage mobs” that make use of the company’s anonymous bias reporting channels to shut down dissent.

The open letter, published Tuesday morning on Medium, was written by software engineer Mike Wacker, who was reported himself multiple times via the company’s anonymous reporting tools.

“If left unchecked,” Wacker wrote, “these outrage mobs will hunt down any conservative, any Christian, and any independent free thinker at Google who does not bow down to their agenda.”

In one case, Wacker describes a fellow Republican employee who was reported for saying nice things about the University of Toronto academic Jordan Peterson. He was given a note in writing that said, “One Googler raised a concern that you that you appeared to be promoting and defending Jordan Peterson’s comments about transgender pronouns, and this made them feel unsafe at work.”

Wacker himself was twice reported via the company’s anonymous reporting channels.

“You wrote in the activists-us@ group: ‘The definition of ‘Google’s values’ that matters is the one used by Google’s activists, who could only be described as ‘nonpartisan’ in the same sense that the Women’s March could be described as inclusive towards pro-life Jewish women,'” reads a note he received in January. “Other members of the group responded that your statement was percieved [sic] as hateful/incendiary/inflammatory. [redacted].”

In February, he received a note that said, “You received feedback on industry-info@ that your comments were ‘rude, disrespectful, and intellectually dishonest.'”

In an exchange released in Wacker’s medium post, he describes a back-and-forth with Blake Lemoine, the engineer who belongs to a self-described cult led by a former porn star and called Republican Tennessee Sen. Marsha Blackburn a “terrorist.” When Wacker raised issues with how the company had handled the AI ethics board debacle that ended with the company dropping Heritage Foundation President Kay Coles James, Lemoine replied that, “Everyone is aware of your tolerance for bigotry.”

Elijah Cummings' Wife Accused Of 'Self-Dealing' For 'Illegal Private Benefit'

An ethics watchdog has filed a complaint with the IRS accusing Rep. Elijah Cummings' wife, Maya Rockeymoore, of potentially using a charity to derive "illegal private benefit" for the couple, according to the Washington Examiner.

Cummings, 68, a Maryland Democrat, is chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. His wife, Maya Rockeymoore, 48, is the chairman of the Maryland Democratic Party and briefly ran in the state's gubernatorial race last year. The couple married in 2008. Cummings was once heavily in debt — in part due to hefty child support payments to his first wife and two other women he had children with — but his financial situation has improved considerably over the past decade. -Washington Examiner

Rockeymoore operates two organizations; a nonprofit called the Center for Global Policy Solutions (CGPS), and a for-profit consulting firm called Global Policy Solutions, LLC. (GPS) According to a Monday filing by the watchdog group, National Legal and Policy Center (NPLC), the two entities have overlapping operations, and may have been used for "illegal private benefit."

According to the report, CGPS and GPS "have mutual clients, donors and projects, and were located at the same address and share a phone number."

The NLPC's complaint asks the IRS to investigate allegations of "shared leadership," "integrated operations," and "shared address and physical facilities" of Rockeymoore's operations. The Examiner also points out that since marrying Rockeymoore in 2008, Cummings' financial situation has improved considerably. According to financial disclosures, the couple currently owns two rental properties worth up to $500,000 each, and last year they sold their three-bedroom Victorian row house in northwest Washington DC for $896,000.

According to its website, the Center for Global Policy Solutions is a nonprofit group that seeks to “create healthier communities, strengthen Social Security, and close racial wealth disparities." The for-profit consulting firm, Global Policy Solutions LLC, describes itself as “a social change strategy firm dedicated to making policy work for people and their environments.” The complaint states that they “appear to operate almost as a single entity, allowing for an illegal private benefit for Maya Rockeymoore Cummings and her husband."

Rockeymoore’s consulting firm was selected for a $1 million federal contract with the General Services Administration in 2017 for work on the “Leadership for Healthy Communities” project to combat childhood obesity, according to federal records. At the same time, Rockeymoore’s nonprofit group “served as the national program office for Leadership for Healthy Communities,” according to its website. -Washington Examiner

GPS was awarded over $6.2 million in grants between 2013 and 2016 according to tax filings, while the nonprofit CGPS received backing from the likes of Google, JP Morgan and Prudential - which have business before the House Oversight Committee - currently chaired by Elijah Cummings. The Maryland Congressman has been on the committee for the better part of a decade, where he is now desperately seeking President Trump's tax returns.

Tom Anderson, director of the National Legal and Policy Center’s Government Integrity Project, which has been investigating the nonprofit arrangement and provided research to the Washington Examiner, said the potential for corruption is “off the charts.” He said Rockeymoore declined to let his organization view her nonprofit’s most recent public financial records as required by the IRS. -Washington Examiner

“So that’s really how you do it right. That is such a core component of the Green New Deal is having all of these projects make sense in a cultural context, and it’s an area that we get the most pushback on because people say, ‘Why do you need to do that? That’s too hard.’”

“But when you really think about it — when someone says that it’s ‘too hard’ to do a green space that grows Yucca instead of, I don’t know, cauliflower or something — what you’re doing is you’re taking a colonial approach to environmentalism,” Ocasio-Cortez said.

“That is why a lot of communities of color get resistant to certain environmentalist movements because they come with the colonial lens on them.”

Notable: >>6551029 NXIVM trial: Notes on Salzman's testimony

reporter Ayla Ferrone's twats NIXIVM Trial update & details (1 of 2)

1) Have just received transcripts from yesterday's proceedings for the trial against #NXIVM leader Keith Raniere. It's difficult to keep up on the transcripts as they are hundreds of pages long, so be patient. Here's some notes from yesterday where Lauren Salzman testified. #thread

2) Salzman remained on direct examination. I'm told she likely will remain on the stand through tomorrow morning. Yesterday's trial began with attorneys discussing use of certain email evidence with the judge. Judge bars the exhibits due to specific accusations against Raniere.

3) Salzman confirming again, as her testimony begins, that she was a first-line master in DOS. She says this means she was enrolled directly under Raniere and that he was her master. She says aside from him, everyone else in DOS was female.

4) Says Raniere had sexual relationships with all but one first-line DOS member. Salzman then discusses how she first met other first line DOS members, mentions Allison Mack, and also says she was the last first-line member to be brought in.

5) Says she had a conversation with Nicki Clyne in Feb 2018 about a "commitment with Keith." Says Clyne was under the impression she was the only one with this relationship but later found out others were involved as well. Says Clyne and Mack eventually got married.

6) Salzman says she wrote a letter in support of this marriage. She says in total, she had 6 salves under her. Says when recruiting she was not to tell them about Raniere's involvement. She explains the collateral process we've heard about before within DOS.

7) Salzman explains other DOS practices: checking in with your master before bed and first thing in the morning, daily act of self-denial to make themselves uncomfortable, weekly acts of care, other tasks and assignments as well as readiness drills.

8) Salzman says most of the conversations happened in encrypted apps like Telegram or Signal. She says this was for more secrecy and security. Says her slaves did not know who they were reporting to. She says readiness drills were complex and could happen any time.

9) Salzman testifies to the below "buddy system" for her circle of first-line DOS masters. Says she kept a copy on her phone because it was difficult to remember the exact order. Says readiness drills were meant to build discipline.

10)Explains the buddy circle–says following the arrows that's who you were responsible for making sure responded to readiness. If you couldn't find the person you were directly responsible for, you were also responsible for the next person.

11)Says as more people were involved in DOS readiness drills became more complicated, says several could be happening at once. Says she remembers one happening while she was driving, needed to cross 4 lanes of traffic to respond and it was unsafe.

12)Now she describes acts of car she would perform for Raniere: picking up food for him, warming up his car, bringing snacks to volleyball. Says eventually she would help him edit the "DOS book."

13)She says recruitment was a big deal for Raniere. Said he was focused on getting 100 people in DOS. Says he wanted new people outside of NXIVM enrolled, specifically people of power and influence.

14)Salzman next testifies to the requirement to be branded as a member of DOS. Says the brand was Raniere's initials. Says there was also an idea of getting a tattoo over the brand with an additional design to make it prettier and distinguish lineage.

15)Says she never ended up getting the tattoo over the brand because Raniere couldn't decide on a design. Says first-line DOS members had meetings that were recorded. Now describes naked photos Raniere required of them.

16)Says they had to be uniform, fully frontal, and the brand should show, and they should appear happy in the photos. Says he also requested sexually explicit photos. Says she was uncomfortable because she knew Raniere was having sex with DOS masters, but not with her anymore.

17)Salzman now says she was required to submit additional collateral monthly. Says this could include staged crimes that were videotaped. Says eventually he wanted a DOS specific house, a sorority house.

18)Salzman says there were also punishments involved in DOS. This included doing physical activities like burpees, being paddled, etc. Says some other masters told her Raniere had paddled them and it was painful. Says one person told her she had also been kicked by Raniere.

19)Now talking about a dungeon that was being built in the basement of the home purchased for the DOS sorority house. Says there had been a bunch of BDSM items ordered for this purpose, and this happened the weekend DOS became public.

Oroville Dam water level is 1 foot from spillway as of May 20, 2019

Oroville Dam is an earthfill embankment dam on the Feather River east of the city of Oroville, California, in the Sierra Nevada foothills east of the Sacramento Valley. At 770 feet (235 m) high, it is the tallest dam in the U.S.[8] and serves mainly for water supply, hydroelectricity generation and flood control. The dam impounds Lake Oroville, the second largest man-made lake in the state of California, capable of storing more than 3.5 million acre feet (1.1 trillion US gallons; 4.3 trillion litres).

Coordinates

39°32′20″N 121°29′08″W

Construction began 1961

Opening date May 4, 1968

Owner(s) California Department of Water Resource

Built by the California Department of Water Resources (DWR), Oroville Dam is one of the key features of the California State Water Project (SWP), one of two major projects passed that set up California's statewide water system. Construction was initiated in 1961, and despite numerous difficulties encountered during its construction, including multiple floods and a major train wreck on the rail line used to transport materials to the dam site, the embankment was topped out in 1967 and the entire project was ready for use in 1968. The dam began to generate electricity shortly afterwards with completion of the Edward Hyatt Pump-Generating Plant, then the country's largest underground power station.

Since its completion in 1968, the Oroville Dam has allocated the flow of the Feather River from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta into the State Water Project's California Aqueduct, which provides a major supply of water for irrigation in the San Joaquin Valley as well as municipal and industrial water supplies to coastal Southern California, and has prevented large amounts of flood damage to the area—more than $1.3 billion between the years of 1987 and 1999. The dam has confined fish migration up the Feather River and the controlled flow of the river as a result of the Oroville Dam has affected riparian habitat. Multiple attempts at trying to counter the dam's impacts on fish migration have included the construction of a salmon/steelhead fish incubator on the river, which began shortly after the dam was completed.

In February 2017, the main and emergency spillways threatened to fail, leading to the evacuation of 188,000 people living near the dam. After deterioration of the main spillway largely stabilized and the water level of the dam's reservoir dropped below the top of the emergency spillway, the evacuation order was lifted.

A former US government intelligence agent who worked for the CIA during attacks on September 11th, 2001, has given a sworn affidavit stating that 9/11 was an inside job.The ex-CIA agent, who's also an experienced commercial airline pilot, has blown the whistle on the destruction of the World Trade Center buildings, claiming that the three towers were actually brought down by controlled demolitions, and not by passenger planes that were flown by amateur pilots.

Former CIA agent John Lear has not only given a sworn statement as an expert witness, but he has also produced conclusive evidence that disproves the official narrative that the towers were destroyed by airplanes that were highjacked and flown by terrorists.Speaking under oath, Agent Lear confirms that the WTC buildings in New York were demolished using pre-planted explosives in a carefully orchestrated and well-engineered plot by the United States government and CIA, adding:

"No Boeing 767 airliners hit the Twin Towers as fraudulently alleged by the government, media, NIST and its contractors" His statements have finally confirmed the long standing theory that the Twin Towers were struck by military planes that had been made to resemble passenger jets and a controlled demolition reduced the buildings to rubble afterward.

After reporting a LA's most notorious trash pile to the city's 311 services hotline, the I-Team was told it could take up to 90 days before it's cleaned up. An expert says there's no time to waste

By Joel Grover and Amy Corral

Rat-infested piles of rotting garbage left uncollected by the city of Los Angeles, even after promises to clean it up, are fueling concerns about a new epidemic after last year's record number of flea-borne typhus cases.

Even the city's most notorious trash pile, located between downtown LA's busy Fashion and Produce districts, continues to be a magnet for rats after it was cleaned up months ago. The rodents can carry typhus-infected fleas, which can spread the disease to humans through bacteria rubbed into the eyes or cuts and scrapes on the skin, resulting in severe flu-like symptoms.

The NBC4 I-Team first told Mayor Eric Garcetti's office about the piles of filth in the 700 block of Ceres Avenue in October. At the time, he promised to make sure trash doesn't pile up like that.

The UN says North Korea’s Ambassador to the UN Kim Song is set to hold a news conference on Tuesday regarding the U.S.' recent seizure of a North Korean cargo ship.

Stephane Dujarric, the spokesperson for the UN Secretary-General, made the announcement for the planned briefing on Monday.

It is rare for the North to hold a news conference at the UN.

Ambassador Kim is likely to condemn the U.S.’ seizure of the ship "Wise Honest." He is also expected to call on the world body to lift its sanctions on Pyongyang, arguing that they are unfair.

On May ninth, the U.S. Justice Department announced that it had seized "Wise Honest," one of the North's largest cargo ships, saying the ship was used to illicitly export North Korean coal and import heavy machinery in violation of international sanctions.

The department cited that it was the first time the U.S. had seized a North Korean cargo vessel for violating UN sanctions.

Brexit Party Takes Wide Lead in Wales, Second Place in Remain-Voting Scotland

The Brexit Party has taken a massive 17-point lead over the pro-Remain Welsh nationalist party in Wales in a poll ahead of Thursday’s European Parliament elections.

The YouGov poll published Monday revealed Nigel Farage’s party to have the support of 36 per cent of voters in the country, which voted to leave the European Union in June 2016.

Plaid Cymru, which advocates for Welsh independence from the UK yet supports being subjugated to rule by the EU, has the support of 19 per cent of Welshmen, followed by Labour (15 per cent), the Liberal Democrats (ten per cent), the Green Party (eight per cent), and the Conservatives (seven per cent).

The news comes as another YouGov poll puts the Brexit Party in second place in Scotland — an extraordinary position given that that country voted Remain by nearly two votes to one (62 per cent to 38 per cent).

The pro-Remain, leftist Scottish Nationalist Party (SNP) led voter support on 38 per cent, with the Brexit Party following at 20 per cent. The poll also revealed that just one in five Scotsmen would vote for either the Tories or Labour.

Florida congressman Matt Gaetz revealed Monday night that "most compelling" evidence in the Trump-Russia collusion investigation is days, if not weeks away.

According to Gaetz, R-Fla., secret unreleased transcripts involving former Trump aide George Papadopoulos reveal that he denied there was an illegal conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia and that intelligence officials did not present that information to the FISA court.

"I believe we are days if not weeks aways for the most in compelling evidence in the biggest political scandal in American history," Gaetz said on "Hannity" Monday.

"There was western intelligence sent to spy on Papadopoulos and there's a recording and transcript of the conversation. And there, Papadopoulos denies any illegal conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia. So, they had evidence presumably that was against Papadopoulos and for him. What they will wont be able to defend is that they never presented that evidence to the FISA court."

Prosecutors refuse to enforce abortion ban in Georgia

District lawyers in Georgia have announced they will not prosecute women for getting an abortion after the US state effectively banned the procedure.

Georgia governor Brian Kemp signed the controversial “heartbeat” abortion ban into law earlier in the month – giving the southern state one of the most restrictive laws in the US.

The legislation, which has provoked outrage among women’s rights groups, bans abortion once cardiac activity can be detected in an embryo. This can be as early as six weeks – at which point most women do not yet know they are pregnant.

The bill imposes jail sentences for women found guilty of aborting or attempting to abort their pregnancies, with the potential for life imprisonment and the death penalty.

It is not scheduled to come into effect until 1 January and is expected to face challenges in the courts – with it potentially being postponed.

Notable: NSA Hawaii

Exclusive look inside NSA Hawaii, the "front lines" of intelligence gathering

CBS News is getting an exclusive look at the National Security Agency's secretive outpost in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. NSA Hawaii is on the front lines of American intelligence gathering, intercepting communications and monitoring a region that includes China and North Korea. The NSA is the largest of the 17 U.S. intelligence agencies, and this outpost in Hawaii is particularly busy these days as the U.S. shifts its focus from fighting terrorism to a competition between nations for critical information. Cameras usually aren't allowed, but Capt. Kurt Mole, who leads the top-secret facility, took CBS News correspondent Carter Evans and his team inside. "This is absolutely a first for me," Mole said of the cameras, adding, "However, we recognize that transparency breeds trust." Still in one room, we had to blur the picture because everything in there was classified. It's where specialists listen in on foreign communications. "Anything that travels over the radio frequency waves or inside the electromagnetic spectrum, it can be collected," Mole said. "We have the ability to pull items that have been collected worldwide… Much of our reporting even ends up on the desk of the president." "The president has had some harsh words for the intelligence community. What does that do to morale here?" Carter asked. "Nothing," Mole responded. "We're not paying attention to that. We're focused on mission." Mole said with so much information coming through, "humans can only do so much." "So we're looking at ways to where we can utilize A.I. and machine learning to be able to… get the right data to that right analyst," Mole said.

Over the past 18 months, the Trump administration has slapped Chinese hackers with an unprecedented number of criminal indictments after Chinese nationals attempted to compromise key targets in the U.S. Much of the reporting that contributed to U.S. government actions related to that came out of this facility, Mole said. Chief Master Sgt. Nina Ung controls the NSA teams keeping a close watch on our adversaries across the Pacific. She called their outpost the "front lines."

"If you look at just in our own backyard, right, we have China and North Korea," Ung said. "It's no secret that they're loud, they're noisy, and they are willing to use to use cyber threats and force." "You have four of the largest world economies, you have seven of the 10 largest militaries. Five nuclear nations," Mole said. "Tell me more about that as a cyber power grab going on," Carter said. "It's not just cyber," Mole said. "The United States does not have the superiority in any of those domains that we once had."

Deep inside an underground tunnel is where the NSA first established a presence in Hawaii. It's also the location where Edward Snowden worked, before he stole hundreds of thousands of classified documents. Snowden was a contractor working for the NSA Hawaii in 2013 when he leaked documents outlining American government surveillance practices. "Is it something that people here still think about?" Carter asked. "Not at all. We don't dwell on the past. Our workforce, our mission is too critical today," Mole said.

Asked whether the NSA is observing American citizens, Mole responded, "The National Security Agency in conducting its missions is always in accordance with the U.S. law." The domestic phone surveillance program first exposed by Snowden is now under review and may be discontinued. Still no one at the NSA would go into any detail about changes made because it's classified. As CBS News' Evans witnessed, they are dead serious about security. They combed through all of his team's gear, and no one is allowed to bring any electronics inside the facility – no cellphones, no watches, and certainly no USB devices.

North Korean Sex Slaves Forced To Endure Rape, Exploitation And Forced Marriage In China

Tens of thousands of North Korean women and girls are actively trafficked into the Chinese sex trade by criminal organizations, and are often forced to endure "systematic rape, sex trafficking, sexual slavery, sexual abuse, prostitution, cybersex trafficking, forced marriage and forced pregnancy," according to a new report. Following an extensive investigation, the Korea Future Initiative found that victims are "commonly aged between 12-29 and overwhelmingly female." Many of them are sold more than once, and are "forced into at least one form of sexual slavery within a year of leaving their homeland."

Sex trafficking and exploitation is a $105,000,000 per year business for the Chinese underworld, according to the report. "Victims are prostituted for as little as ¥30 Chinese Yuan ($4 United States Dollars), sold as wives for just ¥1000 Chinese Yuan ($146 United States Dollars), and trafficked into cybersex dens for exploitation by a global online audience." "Pushed from their homeland by a patriarchal regime that survives through the imposition of tyranny, poverty, and oppression, North Korean women and girls are passed through the hands of traffickers, brokers, and criminal organisations" according to the London-based Korea watchdog group.

According to the report's author, Yoon Hee-soon, prostitution has overtaken forced marriage as the "primary pathway" into the sex trade for North Korean women and girls. "Enslaved in brothels that litter satellite-towns and townships close to large urban areas in northeast China, victims are mostly aged between 15-25 and are habitually subjected to penetrative vaginal and anal rape, forced masturbation, and groping," said Hee-soon. Girls as young as nine are forced to perform graphic cybersex acts and are sexually assaulted in front of webcams which are streamed to a global audience. "Prospects for North Korean women and girls trapped in China’s multi-million-dollar sex trade are bleak," said the report's author, adding "Many victims have perished in China, while small rescue organisations and Christian missionaries struggle to perform rescue work. Urgent and immediate action, which will run contrary to the prevailing politics of inter-Korean dialogue, is needed to save the lives of countless female North Korean refugees in China."

Cohen Pushes Pelosi to Impeach Trump Because He’s ‘Raping the Country’

Rep. Steve Cohen (D., Tenn.) on Monday called for the impeachment of President Donald Trump, accusing him of "raping the country." Cohen stood up and yelled for Trump to be impeached during a Democratic Steering and Policy Committee meeting with Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.), prompting Pelosi to push back saying, "This is not about politics, it's about what's best for the American people," according to Politico.

Cohen, who voted to move impeachment proceedings forward in December 2017, also brought up former President Bill Clinton's impeachment proceedings during the committee hearing, saying he faced impeachment "over sex." He went on to contrast Clinton and Trump by accusing the latter of "raping the country," a quote that was confirmed by Cohen after the meeting. Pelosi again pushed back against Cohen's assertion that she was afraid impeachment would cost the Democrats a majority in the House. "This isn’t about politics at all. It’s about patriotism. It’s about the strength we need to have to see things through," Pelosi said, according to aides in the room who spoke to Politico.

Pelosi faced other backlash from Democrats, including Reps. David Cicilline (R.I.), Jamie Raskin (Md.), and Joe Neguse (Colo.), during a private Democratic leadership meeting, Politico reported. Raskin — a former law professor — said he wasn't advocating impeaching Trump but suggested that opening an impeachment inquiry would strengthen their legal position while allowing Democrats to move forward with their legislative agenda. Pelosi dismissed this argument, asking Raskin whether he wanted to shut down the other five committees working on Trump investigations in favor of the Judiciary Committee. "You want to tell Elijah Cummings to go home?" Pelosi quipped, referring to the chairman of the Oversight and Reform Committee.

Cicilline said earlier Monday he supports an impeachment inquiry if former White House Counsel Don McGahn doesn't show up on Tuesday to testify before the House Judiciary Committee. McGahn's lawyers later indicated he would not be showing up, defying the committee's subpoena, according to CNN. 'As with the subpoena for documents, Mr. McGahn again finds himself facing contradictory instructions from two co-equal branches of government," McGahn's attorney William A. Burck said in a letter to Rep. Jerry Nadler (D., N.Y.), the chairman of the House Judiciary Comittee. "Under these circumstances, and also conscious of the duties he, as an attorney, owes to his former client, Mr. McGahn must decline to appear at the hearing tomorrow." "I think if this pattern by the president continues, where he's going to impede and prevent and undermine our ability to gather evidence to do our job, we're going to be left with no choice," Cicilline said. "It's a means where we can collect that information … We need to have the ability to gather the evidence,"' Cicilline added.

Cohen has a history of controversial statements or comparisons when discussing Trump or his policies. In addition to accusing Trump of "torching the entire structure of government" like the Notre Dame Cathedral in France, he has compared Trump to the late Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, and he described Trump as a "cancer" on the United States. Cohen also got in hot water when he joked then-Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R., Tenn.) should jump off a bridge while she was running for U.S. Senate.

HSBC plans more China tech jobs in push for market share

HONG KONG (Reuters) - HSBC Holdings PLC plans to add more than a 1,000 jobs this year at its technology development centers in China, as the Asia-focused lender seeks to bolster its presence in the world’s second largest economy. Europe’s biggest bank by assets will boost headcount at its technology centers in Guangzhou, Shanghai and Xi’an by 14% from a current 7,000-strong workforce, said HSBC Chief Information Officer Darryl West. In recent years the London-based bank has spent $3 billion annually on its group technology operations which employ 40,000 people worldwide, and West said annual investments of $3-$3.5 billion are planned over the next few years.

Many global banks set up low-cost hubs in China and India more than a decade ago to maintain their complex worldwide information technology networks, but these centers have now become a core part of their operations. The centers develop and implement risk and fraud management technologies, as well as digital applications that make it easier for banks to attract customers and deliver faster and more secure services. HSBC’s expansion plan in China, a key market for the bank, comes amid growing use of technology in the financial sector - from payments to transactions. At stake is a bigger share of the billions of dollars worth of retail and corporate banking business in a major financial market with a growing customer base.

“There is a lot more we can do with technology in mainland China. The level of technology adoption and innovation in China is way ahead of other markets,” West told reporters during a tour of HSBC’s technology center in the southern city of Guangzhou last week. “We see mainland China as a tremendous source of talent, not just for the local market but our technology operations globally. We are hiring very aggressively here,” he added.

RETAIL BANKING About 30% of the work done at the Guangzhou center, the largest HSBC tech facility in China with more than 5,000 employees, is for the mainland market and that share is expected to grow over the next couple of years. HSBC is also using China-based tech centers to develop banking products for its global network, such as the bank’s U.K. mobile app which was developed in the northwestern city of Xi’an. Outside China, HSBC employs more than 10,000 people at technology centers in India, with the rest in countries such as Britain, Canada, Hong Kong and the United States.

HSBC has in recent years lifted investment in China, including the prosperous southern Pearl River Delta region. Mainland China and Hong Kong together accounted for nearly 40% of the bank’s revenue in 2018. The bank will invest $15-$17 billion in the next three years in areas including technology and China, its Chief Executive John Flint said last year. The limited physical presence of foreign banks in China compared to dominant domestic rivals has been a challenge.

HSBC’s losses in retail banking and wealth management (RBWM) in mainland China widened to $200 million last year from $44 million in 2017. The bank aimed to reverse that with its investments in technology. “Things like that, we see as very important for the next phase of our business growth … once the major investments have gone in, RBWM will grow bigger and also profitable,” said HSBC Greater China Chief Executive Helen Wong.

Crenshaw breaks with Trump on Navy SEAL case: Gallagher should face trial before any war crimes pardon

Freshman Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, says service members who have been accused of war crimes should undergo a war crimes trial before being pardoned by President Trump. Trump is reportedly weighing pardons on or around Memorial Day for multiple members of the military accused or convicted of war crimes, according to the New York Times. Crenshaw said these pardons should wait until the courts decide the cases. “These cases should be decided by the courts, where the entirety of the evidence can be viewed,” Crenshaw said in a statement to National Review. “Only after that should a pardon be considered.”

U.S. officials told the Times that the White House made expedited requests to obtain necessary paperwork to pardon service members including Navy SEAL Special Operations Chief Edward Gallagher, who was charged with shooting unarmed civilians and killing an enemy captive with a knife during a deployment in Iraq. The officials suspect that among the others who may be pardoned include Army Green Beret Maj. Mathew Golsteyn, who was charged with premeditated murder after he allegedly told the CIA he killed a suspected Taliban bombmaker in 2010. The officials have not seen a final list.

Rep. Ted Lieu, D-Calif., a former Air Force judge advocate general, agreed that military jurors needed to weigh in on the cases before pardons were issued. “As a former active duty JAG, I know the main purpose of the UCMJ is to impose good order & discipline, which Washington called the soul of an army,” Lieu tweeted. “The charges against Gallagher are deadly serious. @POTUS should not circumvent the court-martial process. Let military jurors decide.”

Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., cast doubt on whether the Navy could conduct a fair trial given the coverage of the case. “I don’t trust the Navy to give him a fair trial, but I think with all of the focus on this case that he stands more of a chance of getting a fair trial now,” Hunter, who was indicted on federal corruption charges last year, told the Associated Press. Hunter and his wife pleaded not guilty to a 60-count indictment accusing them of misusing campaign funds. Earlier this month Trump pardoned former Army 1st Lt. Michael Behenna, who was convicted of murdering an Iraqi prisoner while he was deployed to Iraq in 2007.

Loretta Lynch: Obama never ordered politically motivated infiltration of Trump campaign

Testifying under oath before lawmakers late last year, former Attorney General Loretta Lynch denied getting any instruction by President Barack Obama or his administration to investigate the Trump campaign for political purposes. Appearing before a joint task force of the House Judiciary and Oversight committees, Lynch was asked if she believed the Justice Department or FBI ever got political in their handling of the inquiry, which began as a counterintelligence investigation in the summer of 2016. "I know that they did not," Lynch said on Dec. 19.

Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., who is now the House Judiciary chairman, asked: "Did President Obama, or anyone in his administration, ever make a demand or request that the FBI or DOJ infiltrate or surveil the Trump campaign for political purposes?" Lynch gave a one-word answer: "Never." Asked how she would react if she had received such a request, Lynch said, "I would have declined it and told them how inappropriate it was." Lynch also denied that she ever made any law enforcement decisions at the Justice Department that were for political reasons, including in regards to the Hillary Clinton email investigation.

The transcript of the interview was released Monday evening by House Judiciary ranking member Doug Collins, R-Ga., giving a look into the private testimony given for a GOP-led inquiry into potential bias in the Justice Department and the FBI at a time when there is a debate about whether there was "spying" on Trump's campaign with the use of wiretapping and informants. Although Republicans have lost control of the House, there is now a multi-pronged effort to root out any misconduct by the Obama administration in the heat of the 2016 election.

The FBI launched its original counterintelligence investigation, called Crossfire Hurricane, in July 2016. It was prompted by Australian diplomat Alexander Downer informing the FBI that Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos told him Russia had damaging information on Hillary Clinton, Trump's Democratic rival in the 2016 election. Attorney General William Barr has tasked U.S. Attorney John Durham to review the origins of the counterintelligence investigation, which was later wrapped into special counsel Robert Mueller's probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

Mueller's report shows his team could not find sufficient evidence to establish a criminal conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia. Republican investigators have charged that there was a politically motivated reason to investigate President Trump and his team. House Intelligence Committee ranking member Devin Nunes, R-Calif., said last week that Mueller "knew the day that he walked in the door there was no evidence of the Trump campaign colluding with Russians." Mueller was appointed as special counsel in May 2017, eight days after Trump fired FBI Director James Comey.

GOP lawmakers have also raised the alarm about the FBI's use of an unverified dossier to obtain Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrants to wiretap onetime Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. Several top-level Obama officials, including Comey and former CIA Director John Brennan, have come under the crosshairs for potential misconduct for their treatment of the dossier compiled by British ex-spy Christopher Steele.

Devin Nunes: FBI won't share info on Clinton 'dirt' tipster Joseph Mifsud

Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., said on Monday the FBI has "something to hide" about Maltese academic Joseph Mifsud, the man who told former Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos the Russians had damaging information about Hillary Clinton. During a Fox News interview, the House Intelligence Committee ranking member said he has sent two letters this month to the Central Intelligence Agency, FBI, National Security Agency, and State Department asking for all documents they have on Mifsud.

Nunes said all but the FBI are cooperating. "The FBI is not cooperating, per usual, which means they've got something to hide," he said. Mifsud, a London-based professor and former Maltese diplomat, has long been suspected of deep ties to Russian intelligence. Although special counsel Robert Mueller's team portrayed Mifsud as a Russian asset with close ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin in their 448-page report, Nunes has said they decided to "cherry pick" information from news reports, leaving out that he described as a Western intelligence asset. Nunes specifically noted that Mifsud has a lot of ties to U.S., British, and Italian intelligence services.

"It is impossible that Mifsud is a Russian asset," Nunes said Monday. "He is a former diplomat with the Malta government. He lived in Italy. He worked and taught FBI, trained FBI officials, and worked with FBI officials." Mueller's report, released last month with redactions, states that Mifsud traveled to Moscow in April 2016, after which he met Papadopoulos in London. It was at this meeting that Mifsud informed Papadopoulos that during his trip he learned that the Russians had “dirt” on Clinton, who served as secretary of state from 2009 to 2013 and was President Trump's Democratic rival in the 2016 election.

Papadopoulos later repeated this claim to Australian diplomat Alexander Downer, who informed the U.S. government and prompted the original counterintelligence investigation into Trump's campaign in July 2016. Although Papadopoulos, who pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI, told investigators Mifsud talked to him about the Russians having "thousands" of Clinton emails, Mifsud denied to the FBI he knew or mentioned anything about emails.

Report of pipe bombs leads to woman’s arrest in Grass Valley

GRASS VALLEY – Pipes bombs were found in a woman’s residence after an anonymous tip was called into the Grass Valley Police Department Saturday afternoon.

Officials say the call came in around 3:30 p.m. and pointed them to Mary Dalton’s home on the 400 block of Lamarque Court. The pipe bombs were found in her closet.

The Explosive Ordinance Disposal team from the Placer County Sheriff’s Office rendered the items safe, according to the Grass Valley police.

Dalton, 52, was arrested for “possession of a destructive device and booked into the Nevada County Jail,” authorities said.

Epstein financed Bryan Singer, who was one of the subjects of the An Open Secret movie. He lists many things funded by Epstein, including Steve Bannon. He reminds us that Epstein owned the 10,000 acre Zorro Ranch in New Mexico and his plane’s flight logs show trips to Santa Fe.

Epstein purchased the property in 1993 from the Governor of New Mexico’s father, and was a donor to the Governor.

"See the map for the precise location of the Round Room: past the fairgrounds 5 miles to the dump, left on next road (Wolf Mountain) for 1/4 mile, and before the dead end at the top of the mountain, a sharp left on a short dirt driveway. Reported to be an old water tank, local legend has it that Dr. Anton LaVey, founder of the church of Satan, had a commune here in the late 1960s. Rituals, séances and several murders were said to have happened here by people in white robes. Blood has been found, but no bodies; witnesses say cold spots and apparitions have been seen on the site."

Asian shares near four-month lows on Huawei fallout fears

TOKYO (Reuters) - Asian shares wobbled near four-month lows on Tuesday on mounting worries the White House’s black-listing of Chinese telecom giant Huawei Technologies could further inflame already tense relations between Washington and Beijing.

MSCI’s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan was flat in early trade but stayed close to a four-month low touched on Friday. It has fallen about 8% from a nine-month peak hit just over a month ago. Japan’s Nikkei fell 0.5%.

The U.S. government on Monday temporarily eased some trade restrictions imposed last week on China’s Huawei, allowing the company to purchase American-made goods to maintain existing networks and provide software updates to existing Huawei handsets for 90 days.

But that was of little comfort for investors who are worried about increasingly acrimonious atmosphere between the world’s two biggest economies.

Some U.S. companies, such as Alphabet’s Google and Lumentum Holdings Inc, have already started to limit services to Huawei.

“The determination of the U.S. administration to paralyze China’s aspirations to become a technology super power is clear when you consider that its actions against Huawei are not only damaging to China’s technology sector, but also the US tech sector,” Shah said.

Corporate earnings guidance provided to investors so far does not take into account the impact of the Huawei ban, said Nobuhiko Kuramochi, chief strategist at Mizuho Securities.

(they just started to today-downgrades on Apple, Tesla, Douchebank, Blue Apron and UBER/Lyft shitting the bed performance-wise since IPO.)

Markets showed scant reaction to speech by Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, who dismissed comparisons between the rise of business debt to record levels in recent years and the conditions in U.S. mortgage markets that preceded the 2007-to-2009 economic crisis.

(of course it's different THIS time.)

Fed Chair Powell: Business debt is rising but does not pose a threat to the system

In the foreign exchange market, major currencies were on the sideline for now.

The euro was under pressure ahead of the European election this weekend but was little moved at $1.1169, off Monday’s low of $1.1150, its lowest level since May 3.

The dollar slipped slightly to 110.05 yen from Monday’s near two-week high of 110.32 yen.

The British pound is listless near four-months, trading at $1.2728, just a stone throw from Friday’s low of $1.2714, as an embattled UK Prime Minister Theresa May struggled to pull together a Brexit deal.

(see Cap#3)

The offshore yuan stood at 6.9403 to the dollar, just above Friday’s 5-1/2-month low of 6.9497.

(line in the sand is 7-gets there and the PBOC has to do something whether they like it or not.)

Oil prices held near multi-week highs as OPEC indicated it was likely to maintain production cuts while escalating Middle East tensions provided further support.

Brent crude futures traded up 0.1% at $72.07 per barrel while U.S. crude futures fetched $63.30 per barrel, up 0.3 percent.

How QAnon Ruined a Tiny Earth Day Party by Spreading Rumors of a Jihad.

By Kate Riga

May 8, 2019 11:46 am

Grass Valley, California is a city nestled in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. Each year, it plays host to Grass Valley Charter School’s Blue Marble Jubilee, an Earth Day celebration complete with egg carton painting and “frolicking” in bins of bird seed.

But since it’s 2019, QAnon ruined all of that.

Bizarrely enough, the conspiracies started when former FBI Director James Comey, living some 3,000 miles from Grass Valley, participated in the hashtag trend #FiveJobsIveHad on Twitter.

A Twitter user named Top Blog Sites, who has a QAnon website linked in his bio, extracted words from the tweet, somehow contorting the hashtag into “five Jihads.” He then circled the first letter of all the jobs Comey has had (grocery store clerk, vocal soloist for church weddings, chemist, strike-replacement high school teacher and FBI director, interrupted), stringing together the initials of the Grass Valley Charter School Foundation.

He noted that the group would be manning the Blue Marble Jubilee on May 11, musing that the tweet was a “coded false flag message” indicating that an attack may be planned to target the event.

Joe, have you seen this possible decode of Comey’s latest ‘bizarre’ tweet? It’s possibly a coded FF message – and the possible “target” is a big school/family event at a Nevada fairgrounds.

The date is around the time these things will be breaking also.🤔😐 pic.twitter.com/D4H00X0zAA

— Top Blog Sites (@TopInfoBlogs) April 29, 2019

The convoluted theory spread, with one QAnon follower warning that “nothing better happen at Grass Valley Charter School (@gvcharter) during their Blue Marble Jubilee on May 11, Jim,” before pointing out that Comey’s tweet had the same time stamp as when the first plane hit the World Trade Center on 9/11.

Massive online database left MILLIONS of Instagram influencers' personal information exposed

A researcher found personal data of millions of influencers in a database online

The information was available publicly and scraped from social media accounts

Social media marketing company, Chtrbox appears to be behind the database

Facebook, which owns Instagram, said it is currently reviewing the matter

A security researcher has discovered a massive online database that exposes the personal contact information of nearly 50 million influencers and brands.

According to a report from TechCrunch, researcher Anurag Sen discovered the database contained the personal contact information of 'prominent food bloggers, celebrities and other social media influencers.'

Sen alerted the site to the list's existence in an attempt to find its creator and get it secured, TechCrunch noted.

TechCrunch reports that the information in the database appears to have been scraped from publicly available social media accounts and was traced back to a social media marketing firm Chtrbox based in Mumbai, India.

Chtrbox, which pays influencers to post sponsored content onto their pages, also included information on what a post with each person listed in the database would cost, including their number of followers, likes, and reach.

In some cases, the influencers included in the database said they had never had any involvement with Chtrbox.

The company has since pulled the database offline and has not responded to any request for comment including those sent by Mail Online.

Going thru Trish Anderson's testimony dropped by Rep. Collins.

If you ever need a defense attorney, Trisha Anderson would be a good choice.

She's a silver-tongued one.

In a nutshell:

*FBI investigation into HRC was completely "by the book"

*She knows NOTHING about ANY inappropriate actions by FBI/DOJ

*Any questions should be directed to Attorney #1 from IG report (her employee who she kind of throws under the bus)

*FBI misclass/mishandling of class info not uncommon ??

*The only thing inaccurate in Comey's book was when he said she (Trisha) said the release of info on Weiner emails could win Trump the election. Claims she said it might affect "the election". BS

Still reading thru - lots of legal ramblings, but..

SHE DIDN'T KNOW OF ANY WRONGDOINGS, FBI IS ABOVE REPROACH
